Every fact about Ping System by game version, newest first.

VersionWhat we know
Planned
  • A ping system is planned; two designers both want to build it.
  • A public ping may return later in some form; horse pinging was narrowed after a bug.
Dev build
  • Press-and-hold middle mouse for hold-ping types like Danger, Help, WTF and Gather Up; ping messages appear in chat.
Alpha 5
  • Ping system was updated again; pings last longer and now show only to your party.
  • Pings on AI enemies show through walls for a while; pings on players do not.
Alpha 4
  • Added in Alpha 4 for teammates; bound to middle mouse by default.
  • A tap marks a spot or lootable object for you and your teammates.
  • Pinging an enemy marks where it was seen but does not track it.
  • Holding the button offers Gather Up, Help, Danger and Question pings.
  • Visuals and UI are still placeholder.
  • Ping UI is temporary; outlines for pinged objects come in the next build.
  • Bug: pings from non-company players can be seen through walls.
